SSHRC Partnership Grant

Partnership Grants provide support for new and existing formal partnerships to advance research, research training and/or knowledge mobilization through mutual co-operation and sharing of intellectual leadership. These grants are intended for large teams working in formal collaboration between post-secondary institutions and/or organizations of various types.

Amount: Partnership Grants involve a two-stage
application process. Stage 1 awards grants valued up to $20,000 to
applicants invited to prepare a Formal Application (Stage 2). The value
of awards at the Stage 2 is up to $500,000 per year over four to seven
years, for a maximum total of up to $2.5 million over seven years.

Eligibility: A Principal Investigator (PI) must be eligible to hold a research account at Western. An individual may not, in a calendar year, submit, as applicant (principal investigator/project director), an application for both an Partnership Grant and a Partnership Development Grant.

Applications: Full Applications are to be processed through Research Development & Services and are to be accompanied by a completed ROLA. Applications and instructions are available through the SSHRC website.

Please contact Karen Kueneman, kueneman@uwo.ca, immediately if you intend to apply. Researchers who are seriously considering applying to this program should contact Elizabeth Russell-Minda in Research Development Services (RDS) well ahead of time (before end of December) to discuss their strategy and plans.
